Broken Promises: House Republicans Vote to End Medicare

House Republicans promised to protect our seniors, but instead they voted to end Medicare.

House Republicans promised they would protect Medicare. They lied.

Dan Benishek [Voted to end Medicare]: "Social Security and Medicare are a promise we've made to our seniors. And I will keep that promise."

Scott Tipton [Voted to end Medicare]: "I'll never put our seniors' future at risk. No cuts. No privatization. And no scaring our seniors."

"Turning Medicare into a voucher program. Privatizing Social Security. The agenda of a party that he hopes to put into power." Pat Meehan [Voted to end Medicare]: "That's the agenda I'm not voting for."

Steve Southerland [Voted to end Medicare]: "We have got to fulfill our commitment to our seniors. The promises that we have made."

Renee Elmers [Voted to end Medicare]: "Cutting Medicare $500 billion to pay for Obamacare. That's wrong."

Joe Heck [Voted to end Medicare]: "I have committed to making sure that our seniors have the benefits that they're entitled to and that they've earned." "Whether it's Social Security or Medicare. I mean it's ludicrous on it's face to think that me as a physician would want to see Medicare dissolved."
